National Running Day: "Sirius Fitness Running Happy Hour!"














Wednesday, June 5, 2013
 5:30pm until 7:00pm Rohr Park
4548 Sweetwater Rd Bonita, CA 91902

 We "Sirius Runners" will commit to at least a mile...if we choose we can go further, but this simple is a relaxing run/jog/power walk to commemorate National Running day! All Levels are welcome! Bring a FRIEND!  

 What is National Running Day?? National Running Day, held annually on the first Wednesday in June, is a day when runners everywhere declare their passion for running. Wherever we are and whomever we’re with, we run—fast or slow, alone or with others, all over town or just around the block. It is a coast-to-coast celebration of a sport and activity that’s simple, inexpensive, and fun. It’s the perfect way for longtime runners to reaffirm their love of running and for beginners to kick off a lifetime and life-changing commitment.

#13in2013: Let the Journey begin...

     In March of 2012 I ran against doctor's orders in the SD Half Marathon (due to Sciatica) and proceeded to run a total of 10 Half Marathons, raise money almost $700 for the Zero Prostate Cancer organization, inspire others in my community, as well as, outside my community to enjoy running and promote Health and Wellness throughout San Diego. I have several groups and friends to thank for assisting me as sponsors as I completed my 10 Half Marathons: Stepping Higher, Inc., Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity Inc - Omicron Iota Sigma Chapter, Nubia Leadership Academy, Friends of Nubia, Kim Howard, Sidni Taylor and several anonymous individuals. I had a great time...sometimes...rough times running, but overall I was satisfied with my accomplishments of 2012! Now in 2013 I was determined to "Take it #UPANOTCH"!

     I have decided in 2013 to run 13 Half Marathons and with the San Dieguito Half Marathon being the first! Well...not only did I freeze my butt off before the race, but I didn't realize how "hilly" this course was. Now, It may seem like I'm complaining, but I'm not. I really enjoyed this race...not overly crowded and though the course was "hilly", for every uphill...thank God there was a downhill. lol! I ran in "just" over 2 hours (02:01:26 to be exact) and I was happy with my overall time since I really didn't train at all. I look forward to training (for real) in the upcoming months as I get ready to tackle 12 more Half Marathons...possibly culminating with a "FULL" in December. (I don't know...I'm scared of 26.2...lol!) 



     My next race is the San Diego Half Marathon which changed its course finish from Petco Park to the San Diego Gaslamp. I enjoyed finishing at Petco Park last year and seeing myself on the Jumbotron, but the Gaslamp should be fun too! A week after this race I'll be running the Hooleys to Hooleys Half Marathon and that will be a day after running the Domino's Pizza St. Patrick's Day 10k...whew! (I did say I was taking it #UPANOTCH this year! lol!) I'll be running a lot of these 13 Halfs with Mark <~check out his blog. #HappyRunning Y'all

Upcoming Races:
SD Half Marathon
Hooleys to Hooleys Half Marathon
Hollywood Half Marathon
La Jolla Half Marathon 
Safari Park Half Marathon

Sirius Fitness Health Tour: FREE viewing of “Soul Food Junkies"


"Soul Food Junkies" 2012 Trailer from Byron Hurt on Vimeo.
^^^^^ This place was PACKED OUT! It was a joy to see folks concerned with their Health and Nutrition! If we don't change now or at least be open to change we will continue to suffer from the "Dis-Ease" that plagues our communities! We owe it to ourselves and our Children! This is stop number one on the Sirius Fitness Health Tour in 2013! Thank you to The Valencia Park/Malcolm X Library, Network for a Healthy California-San Diego & Imperial Counties and PBS’s Community Cinema for presenting the film “Soul Food Junkies” on Wednesday January 9th at 6:00 pm. Filmmaker Byron Hurt explores the upsides and downsides of soul food, a quintessential American cuisine.
